Released with a fresh batch of cassettes on Mexican label Department Tapes is new music from Portuguese artist JCCG, also known as Mediafired, The Exhalers, Sofa Pits, and João Costa Gonçalves. The JCCG project focuses on instrumental guitar work and the transcendental planes that can be reached with just a reverb pedal and a touch of scuzz. “Arrastrado,” which supposedly translates into “dragged,” indeed drags along, but with its chin up high and kicks pumped tight. And though Eje is music for stoners and procrastinators, try not to be a lazy-ass, because there are only 30 copies of this limited release.
